[quote=Anonymous]Is she going to be a freshman in high school?

In my house, we enforced weekday bedtimes until high school.

I have a 14 year old DD who is a rising freshman.  Here are our new rules

Screen time and bed times are managed by her - she decides as long as
she does her responsibilities, exercises, does school work, and isn't annoying (must come nicely when called, etc) and gets up on time to do things (no one can sleep until 3 at my house because we have stuff to do), As and Bs in school (since she can do that).

Phone gets plugged in downstairs before she goes to bed - so she can stay up all night texting but when she goes to bed, phone is charged.  No phones waking up my kid in the middle of the night. No phones at family dinners, everyone has to do some family time.

she can't bother anyone who goes to sleep before her

I can still take the phone for misbehavior or if she violates above rules

I have been doing this with my older DS since he started high school and it basically works fine and he has learned to be independent. I know he will be ready to manage himself when he goes to college.[/quote]
